Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Edamame beans (fresh or frozen) Packed with protein and give a nice crunch.
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Essential for flavor, adds heat and umami.
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese (grated) Sharp cheddar preferred for more flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Whole or low-fat for the richest texture.

Combining
